Austin area salary

Published

Hello. I recently found out I'll be relocating for my husbands job. I've been a RN for almost 6 years and was wondering how much I could expect to earn in the Austin area? Any recommendations for hospitals?

The Austin metro area is one of the lower-paying areas in the state due to saturation in addition to nurses relocating there from around the country. With six years of experience, you'd probably be offered in the high $20s to low $30s hourly range by most hospital systems.

Sorry, but I have no firsthand experience with any of the local hospitals so I cannot make any substantive recommendations.

Thank you for responding. I currently live in an area where the cost of living is higher and I make in that range now. I'd be happy if I was offered that range!

two main hospital systems- seton family of hospitals and St. David's. both have hospitals all over Austin and the surrounding suburbs. There is also Baylor- Scott and White in Round Rock.

Seton has some Magnet hospitals and is a 'current' EMR. last i heard St. David's was using an old school DOS system. Pay will be comparable. PM me if you have any questions. I worked for two Seton hospitals for a few years.
